Financial Peace University Review - Lesson 1 "Super Savers"

You might have heard of Dave Ramsey. He's a national talk show radio host who takes calls from people like you who have questions about their finances, debt, investments, foreclosures, etc.

In addition to his radio show, he created a 13 week course called Financial Peace University. This faith based program is designed to help you get out of debt, invest in your future and have a stress free retirement. Too many of us struggle daily with our debt. There are those who can't afford to pay the bills they incurred and those who can afford their bills but should utilize their cash better. Dave has 7 "Baby Steps" to getting out of debt and building wealth. I will mention these baby steps as I review each week in the course.

You can order a kit through Dave Ramsey's web site or through your class coordinator. It is usually less expensive if you order through your coordinator. The kit includes a book called "Financial Peace Revisited", envelopes that will be covered in a different review, a class workbook to take with you for each session, CDs to listen to for reviewing the class during the week and a few other goodies.

I have enrolled in this course because I would like to make the most of my money by getting out of debt sooner and building wealth for retirement. Each week as I take another course, I will provide a review of each session. My classes are held each Sunday night for the next 13 weeks.

The first session is titled "Super Savers". The class is being held at a church near my home. It is expected to last two hours. We started by watching a 45 minute video. It sounds like a long time but it isn't. Dave was comical in the video so time passed quickly.
